forever gonna be insane about dawn memory/existence ret-con.
s1 dawn being barely eleven years old and the gang having to pick her up from middle school to walk her home before going straight back to the library. she's still little enough to want to play make believe sometimes and is more interested in fantasy books than her sisters friends. slipping notes under buffy's door when she's snuck out because she wanted to tell her stuff but she just wasn't there. buffy drowning, dying to the master, and dawn jerking awake in her bed, gasping for air.
s2 dawn being stuck in the library with giles for the first time and him realising just how young her and buffy are when they bicker. cordy taking one look at her and deciding to teach her about fashion, and then giving tips on how to deal with the mean girls at school. her screaming at buffy when she finds pieces of her diary ripped out and taped all over her walls, and buffy unable to explain why angel is acting this way.
s3 dawn so pissed at buffy for leaving she wrecks her room, takes a baseball bat to it and everything. starting to stick with xander and willow more because she doesn't have anyone else, goddamnit. refusing to talk to buffy when she gets back but crawling into bed with her to sleep. faith having absolutely no idea how to interact with her. getting turned into a witch during band candy. being absolutely delighted that sunnydale high blew up because "well now I can't go to highschool"
s4 dawn being weirdly quiet now that buffy is out of the house. thirteen years old and getting into music and magic and starting to hide away in her room whenever she's not at school. begging joyce to drive her up to buffy's dorm. ending up at giles' place all too often while the gang are planning and chatting with spike. knowing immediately that it isn't actually buffy in who are you but unable to explain it.
just. dawn actually being there for everything. and buffy knowing she's there, and protecting her as best she can. because she's real. she's real.
i never realized how fucking fun “dress up and pretend you belong at the fanciest party you’ve seen in your whole life” missions are until dishonored and phantom liberty happened
I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.
It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.
